I totally think it's important to learn to think about subjects that are not necessarily applicable to a job, and am motivated to do so on my own. They must teach to tests, deal with ALL the kids in the class (and not just the motivated ones, etc.). Came back home and everybody was boring. So are vocational degrees.

When I taught 6th grade we spent an entire unit at the beginning of the year learning questioning (the Socratic method and other questioning strategies).
